Configure Client-Side Integration, Add To Cart Button, and JSON Payload Response

This topic contains the configuration set up procedures that you must complete in Oracle Configure, Price, Quote.

You must configure a client-side integration to add the Add to Cart button on a Commerce site. The client-side integration enables the sharing of data between Oracle Configure, Price, Quote and Commerce.

Note: Ensure the appropriate Commerce Product Families and Product Lines are created in Oracle Configure, Price, Quote prior to starting the Client-Side Integration. Refer to the Configuration > Product Families articles within the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote Online Help for instructions.

To configure a client-side integration:

1. Open the Admin Home page.
2. Under Products, click Catalog Definition. The Supported Products page opens. Product Families displays by default in the Navigation drop-down menu.
3. Click List. The Supported Product Families page opens.
4. Click Integrations from the Navigation drop-down menu for the product of the Commerce product family.

   • Integration Type: Client-side
   • Hide in Reconfiguration: No
   • Action: Define Advanced Function
7. Click Define Function for the Action and use the sample BML from one of the following to add the Add to Cart button to the Commerce site:
   • Appendix D: Understand the Add to Cart BML – Customized Integrations (19C and Earlier) - this sample BML is for legacy integration sites who have previously customized their Add to Cart BML. This sample includes site-specific reference file locations.
   • Appendix E: Understand the Add to Cart BML – Customized Integrations and Multi-Site Set Up (19D and Later) – this sample BML is for new integrations and in cases where the setup needs to be duplicated on multiple sites. This sample does not reference site-specific file locations.
8. Select Simple for the End-Point URL.

   Enter the URL of the Commerce site to integrate with Oracle Configure, Price, Quote. The value entered should include the basic URL or Commerce’s storefront and administration pages. You can add multiple Commerce sites for a single integration by listing each site delimited by the pipe delimiter (|) character.

   For example:

   http://cc-store.oracle.com|http://cc-admin.oracle.com|http://second-store.oracle.com|http://second-admin.oracle.com

9. Click Apply.

Note: Ensure that all partner site lists of allowed URLs are properly addressed within Oracle Configure, Price, Quote. These include domains that are allowed to load the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote in an iFrame and domains that Oracle Configure, Price, Quote is allowed to connect to in the Integration Center. You may need to file a Service Request (SR) on My Oracle Support to include these domains on the site list of allowed URLs.

Configure Child Line Items Corresponding to SKUs in Commerce

For information about setting up BOM Mapping items for a model, refer to the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote Administrator Online Help.

Note: Quantity for the root BOM should use a configurable integer attribute in BOM Attribute Mapping. Otherwise, incorrect quantities may be populated during reconfigure.

Create Configurable Attributes

Configurable attributes define the characteristics of product families. Oracle Configure, Price, Quote uses configurable attributes in search flows, Configuration flows, and every type of Configuration rule.

To create configurable attributes:

1. While you can create the following configurable attributes at any level, Oracle recommends creating the attributes at the Product Family level.

   Label	Variable Name	Attribute Type	Additional Settings
   Currency Code	currencyCode	Text Field	none
   CC Site ID	cC_SiteId_t	Text Field	none
   Quantity	quantity	Integer	Required, Default = 1, Positive Number Validation

2. Create a recommendation rule configured as follows:

   Condition	Apply Rule To	Action Type	Action Attribute	Values to Set	Set Type
   Always True	Configuration	Standard	currencyCode	Edit Function: return _BM_USER_CURRENCY;	Forced Set

3. Create any additional attributes that suit your organization’s needs and place them on the Configuration flow layout.
   • You must place “currencyCode”, “cC_SiteId_t”, and “quantity” on the layout, but they do not need to display them.
   • For information about configurable attributes and the steps to create them, refer to the Oracle Configure, Price, Quote Administration Help.
4. Create a hiding rule configured as follows:

   Condition	Action Attribute
   Advanced: if (_transaction_id == "-1") { return true;} return false;	quantity
